Rebirth of Everyday Life In the 1970s - Chapter 61
At Lu Meishi’s funeral, Song Fengchen saw her fiance.
A gentle looking man with a surname of Zhao, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and a pen on his chest, he is said to be the editor of a newspaper in Husheng.
I don’t know how he rushed over from Hushen all the way in just two days.
Seeing him kneeling in front of Lu Meishi’s coffin and crying, and almost fainting, the villagers of Yuexi Village were surprised and sympathized, and they coincidentally concealed the grievance between Lu Meishi and Hu Jianhua from him. Even Lu Meishi’s death turned into a stumble and fall to the hillside to die, not as everyone knows, because he suddenly died of hypertension caused by excessive excitement after learning the news of the recovery of the college entrance examination.
In this way, it can be regarded as the last decent copy of Lu Meishi, and other unnecessary misunderstandings have been avoided.
After all, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was still written by him to tell Lu Meishi.
After this incident, Yuexi Village once again restored the peace and harmony of the past.
In October, the Dendrobium officinale that Song Fengchen was thinking about had finally entered a mature period.
Mature Dendrobium can be divided into three-year-old and one-two-year-old.
The three-year-old Dendrobium officinale has the best medicinal effect. The leaves have basically fallen out naturally and can be picked with roots, because there are not many new shoots, which will hinder the growth of other stems.
The leaves of Dendrobium candidum that are one or two years old are thicker, and a thicker stem section is retained when picked, so that there will be sufficient nutrients and water supply when new buds germinate in the coming year.
There are also many ways to eat Dendrobium officinale. It is eaten fresh to clear away heat and produce fluid, eat it to strengthen the body, make tea to nourish yin and stomach, boil ointment to dispel wind and dredge the collaterals, soak in wine to dispel dampness and nourish the kidney, and mill powder to clear the body…
Among them, fresh noodles are generally used for fresh eating, simmering, and soaking in wine, while the Fengdou made from Dendrobium candidum is used for tea making and grinding.
Based on the opinions of Boss Zhao and Zheng Dehui, Song Fengchen picked more than two hundred kilograms of Dendrobium officinale strips from the cliffs in the deep mountains. Together with the one or two years old, it is made into a tin maple bucket.
Because it is picked in the first year, the yield is quite good, and the three-year-old ones are even 10% more than the one-year-old ones.
Of course, Song Fengchen couldn’t get involved in these processing links, and it all relied on Zheng Dehui and the others for their help day and night.
Zheng Dehui has a good recipe for boiled ointment, that is, there are more types of adjuvants. Even with the help of the Chen family’s boss, it took a lot of effort to gather these medicinal materials.
Wine soaking is much simpler, and the auxiliary materials only need some common medicinal materials such as wolfberry, eucommia, salvia, achyranthes, etc. The base wine is generally white wine or sorghum wine, and the base wine and Dendrobium candidum are cut at a ratio of ten to one. Seal and soak for two months before drinking.
Sorghum is a crop in the north, and there is no sorghum wine in Lishen. Yang City locally produces a kind of dried melon wine. As the name suggests, it is a kind of liquor brewed from dried sweet potatoes. It costs 60 cents a catty. In the early years when supplies were tight, the supply and marketing cooperatives did not necessarily have to sell them and get dried melon wine. The only way is to carry dried sweet potatoes to the winery in the city to exchange them.
This kind of dried melon wine, Song Fengchen drank it once in Chen’s house a few months earlier.
So this kind of dried melon wine was directly excluded by Song Fengchen.
After thinking about it, Song Fengchen’s eyes fell on the four bottles of Moutai that the Zhong family in Hong Kong gave him.
In the 1970s, ordinary Moutai, like Zhonghua Tobacco, was actually not too expensive. A bottle of sixteen yuan was already worth the sky, and the average one was only eight yuan a catty. After all, no one dared to leave. The broad masses of workers, peasants and soldiers’ ah.
However, all of these need to be purchased with a ticket, and the wine ticket is not something that ordinary people can get. Even if you are eligible for a wine ticket, you may not be able to buy a bottle after saving for a year or a half, so ordinary people can’t drink it. Up these.
As for the four bottles of Moutai that the Zhong family gave him, the trademark is Feitian, which is commonly known as Moutai for export. A bottle of 540ml is mainly sold to overseas Chinese, and the price is a little more than twice that of domestic Moutai.
Song Fengchen is not short of money right now, so he is naturally happy to spend money to enjoy it.
After making up his mind, Song Fengchen found Boss Zhao, and entrusted him to get back two boxes of twelve bottles of Moutai.
Adding the four bottles in his hand, there are twenty-eight bottles in total.
Song Fengchen detained two bottles and gave the rest to Zheng Dehui.
In December, the wine was soaked, the massecuite was cooked, and the Tiepi Fengdou was almost dry.
The formed maple bucket presents a pleasing golden yellow with a faint fragrance.
Compared with three-year-old Dendrobium officinale fresh strips that can be processed into one kilogram of maple bucket on average, three kilograms can be processed into one kilogram of maple bucket.
In the end, what fell into Song Fengchen’s hands was thirty-six kilograms of Fengdou in three years, and a little over 16 kilograms in one or two years.
Without waiting for Song Fengchen to act, Boss Zhao couldn’t wait to find the door.
Unable to bear his soft and hard soaking, it was also on the face of those two boxes of Moutai. Originally, he was only planning to sell all the one or two-year-old Fengdou to his Song Fengchen, and gave him ten kilograms of three-year-old Fengchen. fight.
Boss Zhao was happy from ear to ear.
As for the price, Boss Zhao never dared to count Song Fengchen, and directly offered a high price of 600 yuan per catty for one or two years of Fengdou, and eight hundred yuan per catty for three-year Fengdou.
With 18,000 yuan in hand, the regret in Song Fengchen’s heart instantly vanished.
Sending away Boss Zhao, Song Fengchen turned around and wrapped three hundred yuan in red envelopes for each of Zheng Dehui.
At first, Zheng Dehui said that they were unwilling to accept anything. It wasn’t because of embarrassment. After all, after so many years, they had never seen any horrible scenes. It simply felt that they were raised by Song Fengchen, and in the end they had to take Song Fengchen’s money.
However, Song Fengchen couldn’t stand it, and his attitude was low. Zheng Dehui and the others couldn’t resist, so they had to accept it.
After doing this, Song Fengchen turned around and talked to Xu Junmin about business.
Since the reinstatement of the Greek public official in August, Xu Junmin and the two have sent letters to a dozen of their old friends. However, so far, except for a few people, most of the letters have fallen into the sea, let alone any. What exact news came out.
The resumption of the college entrance examination in mid-October can be regarded as a small victory by Xi Gong against the die-hards, but Xu Junmin still has nothing but to watch.
“Just as a proper reminder of Xi Gong and the others of your existence, so as not to prevent them from forgetting you because of their busy work.” Song Fengchen said.
Very moment, very way.
Xu Junmin calmly said, “It’s okay.”
Song Fengchen thought for a while: “Well, give them two or two Fengdou, Xi Gong doubled, and then order a batch of dried chicken from Boss Zhao and send it together. What do you think?”
There are a lot of two-two maple fights, two hundred yuan small.
Song Fengchen still understands the truth that is too late.
“Listen to you.” Xu Junmin nodded. It’s now time, and he can’t tolerate any hypocrisy.
Take the man’s hand softly and eat the man’s mouth short, I hope this method is really useful!
It’s just that Feng Dou’s origin must be clearly explained to them in the letter. Thinking of this, Xu Junmin’s eyes shifted from Song Fengchen to Xu Shujian, and he sighed in his heart.
Song Fengchen did what he said. Four days later, he drove the bullock cart to the county town again. Fortunately, there was no heavy rain on the road this time, but he sent out more than a dozen packages smoothly.
I just didn’t expect that when I came back, I would meet an unexpected person.
“Brother, you are back.”
It was Song Lingyi who came here, holding a bicycle in her hand with a decent smile on her face, but Song Fengchen could see a strong disappointment in her eyes.
“Yeah.” Song Fengchen nodded indifferently. He really didn’t have any good feelings about the eldest sister of his predecessor.
With that said, he took out the key and turned to open the door: “Come in!”
